"How do you like that ?" And he plastered the snow in The Imp's left ear.
"Hurrah! Snow from Snow!" cried Jack.
"'Twill warm Pepper's blood, so it will!" was Emerald Hogan's comment.
More snow had been scooped from the window-sill by Fred and Joe, and soon a battle-royal was in progress in the dormitory.

But it came to an abrupt end when Dave Kearney appeared.
"Stop it!" cried the young sergeant.

"Crabtree is coming!" "All over!" whispered Jack.

"All as orderly as lambs!" And at once every cadet settled down and started in an orderly fashion to finish his morning toilet.
"What was the noise in here ?" demanded Josiah Crabtree, as he threw open the door and strode into the dormitory.
He glared around savagely, but nobody answered him.
"I demand to know what was going on here!" he continued.
"Mr.Crabtree, did you speak to me ?" asked Pepper, meekly.
"I spoke to you all!" thundered the teacher.

"What were you doing in here ?" "I am dressing, Mr.Crabtree," answered Andy.
"I am dressing, Mr.Crabtree," came from Jack.
"I am dressing, too," put in Fred.
"And so was I dressing," said Stuffer, with a smile.
"And I was dressing," supplemented Pepper.
